What do you think is the most failed car in design? I will first say my point of view. Tribeca

Why do you choose a Subaru? How did they sell in China?

Quote:
Although not sold in Japan, North American markets received the Tribeca in 2005 for the 2006 model year,[2] and it was introduced to Australasia and Europe in late 2006.[3][4] In addition to these markets, the Tribeca was also available in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, China, and parts of Southeast Asia.
I looked at the sales in the US. 18-11K/yr untile the facelift, then sales dropped like a rock 6K-732/yr. That's a nine year run.



It does remind me of the Edsel.

But.... the most failed car in design? I'd go with the retro-classics of the mid-80s. Here's an AMC Hornet:
